Hi Harvey, we have had 3 quotes from removals companies and they have all said pretty much the same thing. No spices, foods, pot pourri or anything containing pine cones (i.e Christmas decorations/wreaths), no garden equipment, terracotta pots etc and if you are taking a vaccuum cleaner take the filters out and give it a good clean! Same goes for cleaning up bicycles, although we have been told they may charge extra to spray them! Hope i'm on the right lines as to what you mean. Also, we have quite a bit of wicker furniture, which is apparently a bit of a grey area, so will have to pack it all together (inc little storage baskets, hampers that kinda thing) and declare it. Untreated wood is also a no no.
Just had our sponsor ship visa confirmed today, so looking forward to packing up our house........as soon as it's sold!!!
